Coral-bacterial communities before and after a coral mass spawning event on Ningaloo Reef [PDF]
, 2012 Bacteria associated with three coral species, Acropora tenuis, Pocillopora damicornis and Tubastrea faulkneri, were assessed before and after coral mass spawning on Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 The coral holobiont often resides in oligotrophic waters; both coral cells and their symbiotic dinoflagellates possess ammonium assimilation enzymes and potentially benefit from the nitrogen fixation of coral-associated diazotrophs. However, the seasonal

Short-Term Thermal Acclimation Modifies the Metabolic Condition of the Coral Holobiont [PDF]
, 2018 The nutritional symbiosis between coral hosts and photosynthetic dinoflagellates is fundamental to the functioning of coral reefs. Rising seawater temperatures destabilize this relationship, resulting in drastic declines in world-wide coral cover ...

Generating viral metagenomes from the coral holobiont v1
, 2016 Reef-building corals comprise multipartite symbioses where the cnidarian animal is host to an array of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms, and the viruses that infect them. These viruses are critical elements of the coral holobiont, serving not only as

ANTI-BACTERIAL PROPERTY OF A CORAL-ASSOCIATED BACTERIUM Bacillus sp. AGAINST CORAL PATHOGENIC [PDF]
, 2006 Marine organisms such as corals are frequently colonized by bacteria that may be pathogenic to them. One of the means by which they are able to combat microbial attack is by chemical defense.

A genomic glance through the fog of plasticity and diversification in Pocillopora
Scientific Reports, 2017 Scleractinian corals of the genus Pocillopora (Lamarck, 1816) are notoriously difficult to identify morphologically with considerable debate on the degree to which phenotypic plasticity, introgressive hybridization and incomplete lineage sorting obscure ...

Biogeography and change among regional coral communities across the western Indian Ocean [PDF]
, 2014 Coral reefs are biodiverse ecosystems structured by abiotic and biotic factors operating across many spatial scales. Regional-scale interactions between climate change, biogeography and fisheries management remain poorly understood.

Transcriptomic Resilience of the Montipora digitata Holobiont to Low pH
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 Ocean acidification is considered as one of the major threats for coral reefs at a global scale. Marine calcifying organisms, including stony corals, are expected to be the most affected by the predicted decrease of the surface water pH at the end of the

Impact of envionmental changes on Oculina patagonica coral holobiont
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016 Los corales son metazoos del phylum Cnidaria que se consideran el producto de una interaccion mutualista entre el coral y algas unicelulares simbioticas del genero Symbiodinium conocidas como zooxantelas; aunque tambien mantienen asociaciones con bacterias, hongos y arqueas, formado un consorcio colaborativo denominado el ?holobionte coralino?

Screening by coral green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like chromoproteins supports a role in photoprotection of zooxanthellae [PDF]
, 2013 Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like pigments are responsible for the vivid colouration of many reef-building corals and have been proposed to act as photoprotectants.
